The New Black Media: Black Social Media Infiltration

[Pioneer1]

It's becoming increasingly obvious that many influencers in these so-called "New Black Media" and "FBA" movements that have been springing up all over social media for the past several years are actually Republican shills masquerading as Black content creators of independent thought.


As much as they speak about tangibles for our vote, Reparations, and celebration of our lineage....there are several things they all seem to have in common:

1. They almost never criticize President Trump or the Republican party
2. They constantly criticize the Democrat Party and Democratic politicians both White and Black
3. They are very much anti Black immigrant.  

It has gone from a "Reparations" movement to a "Delineation" movement where they actively seek to separate and segregate themselves from other Black people.
Not just celebrating our unique identity, but also in some cases denying our African roots!

I'm also seeing strong evidence of colorism and featurism inside many of these movements that have infiltrated Black social media.

I post this because I KNOW for a fact that many of those who follow The New Black Media also frequent this site and read MY content and commentary as well.

I'm advising you to be very careful listening to these people and use discernment.
Pay attention to not only what people say but what they DON'T say and NEVER say.

It's one thing to be anti-immigrant, but if the ONLY immigrants you hear them speaking out against are the Black immigrants....red flag.
It's one thing not to trust politics or politicians, but if the ONLY politicians you hear them speaking against are White Liberals and Democrats....red flag.

Agreed. 

 

The main reasons I could never be a follower of anything is because I think too much.

 

I believe people should always use knowledge and discernment and common sense in whatever they choose to consume. 

 

When people blindly follow sh8t and/or believe everything about it....this is when I might have to question their intelligence.

 

The reality is that a many people are looking for something and they will grasp at anything trying to find it.

I too have often been accused of "over thinking" a particular thing or situation....lol.
This is because when I sense that somebody is trying to sell me something, I also try to figure out what's in it FOR THEM and how do THEY benefit from me accepting what they're saying.

People who are trying to pull a fast one over on the masses can usually look at their audience and tell who's buying their bullshit and who isn't.

If they have it...lol.

For me, it's no longer a QUESTION about some people....lol.

IMO, the New Black Media should stay focused on the following:

 

1) Reporting issues of which FBA/AfroAmericans need to be aware under the system of racism white supremacy

2) Maintaining our history and recognizing our master teachers i.e. Black folks past and present

3) Highlighting positive accomplishments of FBA/AfroAmericans

4) Networking opportunities

5) Reparations

 

There is really no reason for FBA/AfroAmericans to be concerned in one way or another with non-oppressor groups of people. 

 

FBA/AfroAmericans should delineate from other groups of people that:

 

1) do not want to build strategic alliances

2) support the system of racism white supremacy

 

Otherwise, FBA/AfroAmericans have enough issues to deal with instead of putting on a cape for others.

 

History proves that from slavery up to present, no other group of people has significantly helped FBA/AfroAmericans here the USA. 

 

FBA/AfroAmericans should not get into petty beefs or go back & forth with any other group of people especially other Black folks.  They are victims too. 

 

The mission of FBA/AfroAmericans should be putting in the work necessary to make America pay for its original sin. 

 

Anything else is a smoke screen or distraction.  A waste of time & energy.

Absolutely.
I agree with those points 100%.
But I doubt that they'd focus on them because Reparations and helping the AfroAmerican community does NOT seem to be their agenda.

Their agenda SEEMS to be dividing the larger Black diasporan community globally or atleast isolating the AfroAmerican community from them and further dividing the AfroAmerican community based on gender, religion, region, and political affiliation.

Keeping up chaos and division by constantly finding BLACK enemies to focus their adherent on.

That's the thing that made me suspicious of them.
Who the "enemy" always is for them.
Never a White or non-Black group.

Every enemy or boogieman they come up with just happens to be another BLACK person or persons.
-Black immigrants
-Black women
-Black Democrats
-Black Americans with immigrant backgrounds

 

 

 

There is really no reason for FBA/AfroAmericans to be concerned in one way or another with non-oppressor groups of people.

I personally believe in building strategic alliances.
I'd have to ask who among us has actually drawn up a viable plan and presented it to these other groups and GAVE them the option to accept it or reject it.

But if we ARE to take that approach and tell them to hold their own nuts while we hold ours.....ok...then let it be.

But they aren't doing that.
When I see them doing video after video and live after live making fun of Haitians, laughing at the Somalis and calling them criminal and demanding they get deported, and then making fun of other Africans -how they look, smell, and their hair line -and have BEEN doing this for years......
That raises red flags.

They aren't simply ignoring them and focusing on our issues, they are TARGETING them.

And the fact that the ONLY political target of the New Black Media seems to be Democrats...of any race...but barely a word said about the Republicans, makes me even more suspicious about their origins and who's funding them.
 

 

 

 

FBA/AfroAmericans should not get into petty beefs or go back & forth with any other group of people especially other Black folks. They are victims too.

Exactly.
But this is exactly what's being generated BY a lot of self-proclaimed FBA and New Black Media online.

Just watch them and look at their content.
They may mentioned "white supremacy" in passing as some abstract term, but look at who they FOCUS THEIR ENERGY on.
It's almost always OTHER Black people.
Other Black groups or other Black influencers they're "beefing" with.
Never a White, Asian, or Latino person.

Watch it

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mission of FBA/AfroAmericans should be putting in the work necessary to make America pay for its original sin.

That requires UNITY.
It's hard to achieve that when you have paid operatives working among us to keep our people divided and distracted.

The New Black Media should be called out whenever they are off code.

Building strategic alliances is a 2-way street.  Have other groups of people drawn up a viable plan?

Definitely call them out on their non-constructive, divisive and derogatory actions since some of them like to cite the teachings of NF Jr., John Henrik Clarke, Dr. Ben and Dr. Frances Cress Welsing.

Paid OPs among our people have always existed.  Gotta fight through it and continue pressing toward the mark of a higher calling.

Them niggas STAY off code, lol.
Part of the code is not fighting with or criticizing other Black people in public, which they do on a routine basis.

For those who say I'm guilty of this also based on my criticism OF them......
Although this forum technically is "public", it's still relatively closed and private compared to social media.

No, not that I know of.
However we really shouldn't want them to do this anyway.
This is OUR country.
We are the dominant Black group here and it should be on US to take the lead and initiative in forming alliances and setting the course for how these things should go.


If Nigerians came here and drew up an agenda and presented it to us as AfroAmericans....guess what....we'd have a problem with THAT too, lol.




"Man, yall just got off the boat yesteryear.
Why YALL tryna run shit  up in here???"

FBA/AfroAmericans have to strategically align among themselves before we can start branching out to other groups.

I'm certainly not suggesting that other groups take the lead in forming strategic alliance with FBA/AfroAmericans.

 

Whichever groups of people with something tangible to offer in building strategic alliances should bring it to the table.

 

The point in forming strategic alliances is  mutual benefits to all parties.

FBA/AfroAmericans have to strategically align among themselves before we can start branching out to other groups.

You're right.
However there are 2 major problems with this....both of them are related to eachother:

1. A large percentage of our people are too stupid, criminal minded, or indifferent to form meaningful and effective alliances with or "align" with.
They are essentially dead weight.

2. A lot of our intelligent and righteous people who SHOULD be aligning themselves with eachother are "soft hearted" towards them.
Too much time and energy is wasted  trying to "save" criminals, fools, dope addicts, etc....spending years trying to pull them up and put out the fires they cause.
Time that could have been spent branching out and connecting with other intelligent Black people who are NOT part of our culture.

I believe we should help those among our people who need help and WANT help; but I don't believe in wasting time and energy with unrepentant hooligans and thugs.

I'm with you!

As I've said before, many AfroAmericans and Africans are doing this already on a smaller scale.
They aren't waiting for the rest of their respective communities to "catch up"...lol.

We really should be taking advantage of our American citizenship and the benefits that come with it as leverage for our business relationships abroad.

Too many of our people only want to go overseas when they're ready to "retire".
They don't look at it as business opportunities.

All of that is happening already.  We just don't hear about it. 

 

The junk food equivalent of news and accomplishment fills the airwaves.  Kinda like Real Housewives of [pick a city].

In terms of leveraging our American citizenship and money with business opportunities abroad, many FBA/AfroAmericans are doing that too.  It is kept on the low.  Don't need h8ters from either side talking that negative sh8t.

Tariq Nasheed is my boy and is on point with much of his commentary, but THIS shit...............

 

 

  
 

These are the thumbnails for his recent topics.
Nearly all of his topics now a days are about Africans and making fun of them.

 

There's a civil war brewing in America and THIS is what he finds time to focus on?

Insulting Africans?
Insulting Black Democrats?

It's not just him, but dozens of other niggaz on social media....focused on the same thing.

Not Reparations.
Not the racism of MAGA.
Not concrete solutions to the problems of our community.

Clowning on other Black folks...is THEIR focus.

They are literally joining up with Trump and MAGA and attacking Africans and even other FBA.

Tariq has been clowning tethers and Democratic bootlicks and shills for years. He didn't just start doing it.

 

I can understand that you might want him to stop doing considering the current climate but he's consistent.

I don't recall him doing this during any of his Hidden Colors series films.
Infact, he gave a lot of props to Africa and hipped us to a lot of African history.

Now every show is anti-African and anti-Democrat  -CONSISTENTLY, lol.
I don't care what the topic is or what he STARTS to talk about, he eventually finds a way to start bashing African immigrants and those who come from them and make that the theme for the remainder of the show.

Now everytime he mentions a White person like a judge or neighbor or guest....he praises them and talks about how "cool" or "good" they are.
Pay attention to it next time you hear him.
I heard him do a show recently talking about how cool his White neighbors are and how they keep his dogs when they go on vacation.  WTF????

Something went wrong somewhere.

I've heard it. Nowadays, I skip through his commentary listening for anything of substance.

It's no secret that he's living very well out there in Cali.

 

That's why it's a good idea to listen to various voices. Again, sifting for the positive and constructive substance in Black empowerment.

There is no doubt that Tariq is extremely intelligent, entrepreneurial, and street savvy.
He can't help BUT be successful.

That why it's a little distressing to see him go down this road.

A man that intelligent and charismatic develops a cult like following so he influences thousands of people.

To that end, I'd imagine Tariq has had experiences with other Black folks that have shaped his perspectives when it comes to Non-FBA/AfroAmericans.

Why does this surprise you?  Tariq thing is saying provocative and controversial things. He was never a Dr.Ben or MLK?  "King Flex" was teaching Brothers how to "mack" women back in the day.

 

 

What Tariq is doing is profitable. It has gotten you riled up, but you go back for more. My advice is to leave social media alone.  

I used to watch YouTube video pretty regularly but now I can't tell what is real anymore. Most of what I'm seeing is clearly AI generated and even if I'm familiar with the subject talking I can't trust that is has not been altered.
 

You have to go directly to the trusted sources.

I think we all have, or atleast most of us.
I don't know any AfroAmericans who haven't met or had experiences with Africans, Caribbeans, or Black Latinos.
We all know they tend to think and move different, but that doesn't make them the enemy.
He knows better than that and he's too smart for such limited thinking; which makes me even more suspicious as to his motives.

 

If a fool does something, I don't hold them to too high of a standard anyway so I'm not surprised.
But when a smart and intelligent person who knows better does something that is offensive or hostile.....that's different.

Right. There's no shortage of blended together either personally and/or doing business.

 

An individual or a group only becomes an enemy either when they undermine and/or bring hurt, harm or danger to others. 

 

Otherwise, as NF Jr. instructed, no contact is best if/when the alternative leads to an argument and/or a negative physical confrontation.

Wise words.
If we'd actually HEED Neely Fuller Jr's advice instead of just paying lip service to it like so many of these podcasters are doing, we'd actually make more progress.
 

They talk about "the code" and "being on code" but one of the rules of the code is to NOT criticize and fight with other Black people in public.
Especially over petty and trivial matters.
A rule they constantly break.

It's almost to the point that this is ALL he talks about now.
He rarely talks about his future documentaries and doesn't even mention Mink Slide anymore....lol.
Every show no matter what the subject eventually get's into dissing the "tethers" and blaming them for everything that has gone wrong in our community since MLK.

I still believe there's hope for him, though.
He is very influential, so if he stops clowning on other Black people (who don't need to be clowned on) then dozens of other podcasters will follow suit.

Clearly Tariq does not share your affinity for non-FBA/AfroAmericans.  Same goes for the other podcasters. 

 

The onus is really on those labelled as tethers to come to the table and rewrite the narrative.  Same goes for FBA/AfroAmericans who bootlick and shill.

 

If  non-FBA/AfroAmericans are not on some sellout, bootlick or shill sh8t...they need to state that case. 

 

The reality is that many tether suspects do cozy up to white supremacy.  They will disrespect FBA/AfroAmericans in order to carry favor with white folks.

 

Just as I do here on the forum, I call balls and strikes when it comes to ALL Black folks. I see all sides of the issue(s).
